A few days had passed. The police identified the owner of the number that sent the message and moved toward the location.
This location turned out to be the coordinates of the prison cell where Lukas was held.

Indeed, when they arrived, the place was correct. Assuming that Lukas was responsible, they opened an investigation on him.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08BoXBW4OL
The police called out, “Is Lukas here?”
Lukas got up from the ground. He was surprised to see the police and his wife Emma. For a moment, he felt joy — maybe he would be released…
But instead, a new investigation was to be opened against him.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5TalN63SL
Emma looked at Lukas angrily. Her face was full of hatred.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvLnIc3eZI
Without understanding what was happening, Lukas walked toward the officers and said,
“Here I am… Am I being released, or…?”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAN4rDKCl1
One of the officers replied,
“No. You will serve more time. You are sentenced to a heavier punishment for impersonating your son and tricking us with that message.”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJmQNnKlnx
Lukas said in shock,
“What message? I didn’t do anything.”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqfZQkfoqT
The officer looked him up and down. Judging by his appearance and condition, he looked at Lukas with disgust and didn’t believe him at all.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWM8RwHfuB
———
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfXHWGANG0
Lukas no longer knew what to say.
No one was left who believed him.
No one…
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2bUl5SB4u
Days seemed to stop passing. Lukas had gotten used to the torment he faced in prison.
Wake up, prepare breakfast, tidy all the beds, massage Frank’s head… so many tasks. If he didn’t do them, Frank would abuse him.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20CyQlOzRH
This situation was truly painful, but if he retaliated, things would only get worse.

One month later
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceoBnnMelS
It was Monday. Lukas would usually wake up early and do his tasks, but today was visitation day with Emma. So he did nothing.
Frank had bruised his eye and split his brow. He was going to the visit in that condition. Despite everything, he still loved his wife Emma…
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGtZrFT6Zf
Emma hadn’t seen him for a while. This time she felt pity for her husband; his condition, the wounds on his eye, the dullness on his face… She was sad for the first time.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjUI7IH2CT
Emma: “What happened to you like this?”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdkfEUMzV6
Lukas: “Daily routine.”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswB8IhgcnI
Emma: “What?”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXEHUFPUfW
Lukas: “Never mind. You talk.”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CcBvFMPNf
Emma: “About what?”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNLncw3Vzd
Lukas: “Has Jake been found? Why did he shoot me?”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvUCJtwQyW
In a trembling and sorrowful voice, Emma said:
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bNT8o0Dsv
Emma: “Jake… was found dead.”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheahgNeWpA
Hearing this, Lukas fainted. Although Jake was not his biological son, he loved him like his own.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW3tCLkpY6
After waking up shortly after, he immediately began asking questions:
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYolvddAck
Lukas: “How did he die? When? Who did it?”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6UPu3QxIA
Emma: “He jumped from a mountainous area… He committed suicide. Our son… committed suicide…”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0xuyOy2e2
Emma began sobbing uncontrollably.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueg37rK0ca
Police: “That’s enough, the visit is over.”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6QP89x697
As Emma left, she winked at Lukas and made a hand sign. When they first got married, they used to show each other a ‘lock’ hand sign. Whenever something happened, they did that. So there was definitely something going on, but they couldn’t speak because of the police presence.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zoK3N8tYN
At first, Lukas didn’t understand — but then he realized…
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTcEVpCyCh
There was definitely something behind this.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7wQH3ZCKE
Not knowing what to do, Lukas asked the police to allow him to call an old friend.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H5eAMbh0V
“A person should find a friend to lean on when they have troubles.”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PyyrCBNo7
Lukas’s friend Alex was his blood brother.
One day while playing a match in the neighborhood, Lukas fell and cut his hand.
Alex started laughing. Lukas didn’t understand why.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtCNtdGaMo
Lukas: “Why are you laughing?”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9pJEGN9Um
Alex: “Now we’re blood brothers,” he said and took a piece of glass and cut his wrist.
Lukas looked on in surprise, not understanding.
Alex held Lukas’s hand and pressed his bleeding wrist to Lukas’s bleeding hand, saying:
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYtS1ogjlS
Alex: “No matter what happens, we are blood brothers.”
From that day on, their friendship lasted a lifetime.

Since Lukas had just met with Emma, he wasn’t allowed to call again by phone. But he needed to call.
He decided to ask Frank for something for the first time.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kAwCLR2jn
Lukas: “I need a phone.”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDEWKL16RY
Frank: “Haha, why?”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJdoYxGFtZ
Lukas: “Leave that to me. I’ll do whatever you want.”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9n2gfzNQZ
Frank took a phone out of his pocket.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHSReznqRD
Frank: “Here, take it.”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cgL1BWac9
Lukas asked in surprise:
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoIU9VKuu9
Lukas: “No conditions?”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WaIOr3wP8
Frank: “I heard your conversations. You’re in a tough spot. Family is everything,” he said quietly, holding back tears and walked away.
How did he hear the conversation?
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVTLfNz1TI
Frank was probably someone devoted to his family…
I wonder what he had experienced to end up here?
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6tCoJYYSz
As soon as Lukas took the phone, he immediately went to the restroom and started calling.
No one answered the phone.
He had lost hope…
Until the phone rang a while later.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMauYShmQUs
Alex: “Hello, who is this?”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhBOwhL6o2
Lukas: “I’m… Lukas. Your blood brother.”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e7HE0DgDd
Alex: “What?! My friend…”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7u748CQ7k
Lukas: “Alex, you have to get me out of prison.”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FHcXwIwz5
Alex: “What prison?!”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn9B6FG8aS
Lukas: “I’ll tell you later. I have to get out of this damn place.”
